Watch airport workers fight a Star Wars lightsaber battle

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.

Who is the bad guy?

Star Wars has imposed itself on culture as few movies ever have.

Children, for example, love to get toy lightsabers and wave them around as if they've been given magic powers.

So, it seems, do some airport workers.

A video posted to YouTube a couple of days ago shows the men who wave planes into their gate -- technically named a marshaler and two wing walkers (for big planes, at least) -- waving their orange batons in mock battle.

It's unclear where the footage was taken. What's clearer is that there's a JetBlue plane in the background and the weather is awful.

This doesn't prevent our intrepid warriors from whirling and thrusting with some professionalism and even playing dead.

When a wing walker becomes a Skywalker, you can only hope for a good performance. And this really isn't bad at all.

It's as if they've watched the movies over and over again and considered Kylo Ren's twirling techniques, as well as those of the older school.
